Could someone please susbtantiate the claim that touching the material can result in serious injury? Of course it can, but not a quick touch? Or? --Kjetil Kjernsmo14:59, 30 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
In section "Synthesis":
"Plutonium oxide contamination has resulted in a number of military nuclear accidents where nuclear weapons have burned." I doubt that PuO2 contamination has caused nuclear accidents. But in accidents, Plutonium is likely to burn, making oxide, and to be dispersed, making it contamination. I take that to be the intended meaning. There is an ambiguous association [resulted<->in] : (contamination (resulted in) accidents), vs., ((contamination resulted)(in accidents)). Can we adjust the grammar? jimswen (talk) 10:20, 11 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
